Default Re: Good Time for Block Bet? Should I consider check-Graczing it?

Our hand is superstrong here on the flop. I am willing to get it all in no matter what on the flop if possible

No question that the hand is quite strong, and that getting all-in as fast as possible is a good result, but I think 1000 isn't a great amount to bet here.
I still prefer a checkraise. However, if you lead out, it should at least be for a full pot, probably even more (2000-2400 or thereabouts).
First of all, your opponents will face a tougher decision, and secondly, if you get called, it will be easy getting it all in on the turn. You might even force another player to call with a worse hand (say, a higher flush draw) because he feels too committed to it.
